	Not being familiar with the technical details of how METAR works, I'm wondering: is their any humorous significance the the combination of the +BLUP and AO2 strings? According to the current given explanation, +BLUP means the the precipitation is unknown, and AO2 means the station has the capacity to identify if the precipitation is liquid or frozen. To me that reads like the report is saying, "We should be able to tell you what kind of precipitation this is, but for some reason we can't identify it", implying some mysterious new type of precipitation that is neither liquid nor frozen.[[Special:Contributions/162.158.167.88\|162.158.167.88]] 23:27, 18 December 2024 (UTC)		Not being familiar with the technical details of how METAR works, I'm wondering: is their any humorous significance the the combination of the +BLUP and AO2 strings?

 "38.08 inches of mercury" seems a very high pressure, even for a station that is well below sea level. (1290 hPa Pressure around the dead sea is typically 1060hPa)..  Is that physically realistic, or is it part of the joke?  I know funnel clouds, freezing and volcanic ash in the same location are unlikely outside of the apocalypse, but can be justified by the rule of funny.

 :The difference between the altimeter setting and the SLP is also pretty concerning. My understanding (which is based only on a few minutes of googling, not any actual experience) is that one does not correct for temperature while the other does, based on a 12 hour average. So maybe the high value is due to crazy temperatures? Haven't done any calculations, but it would fit the apocalyptic scenario.

-::Your understanding is correct. Both QNH (altimeter setting) and SLP are "pressure reduced to sea level." But QNH assumes standard atmosphere while SLP attempts to use actual weather conditions. It might be just a temperature correction or it might be more.

	So, while it's possible to imagine a scenario where the METAR report is more accurate, it's still a highly unlikely and extreme situation that's not representative of typical weather conditions.
